Rowan Atkinson stars as the title character in this comedy, a spoof of the spy
genre. Johnny English is a bumbling employee of the British Secret Service who
is assigned to protect the Crown Jewels. This pits English against the evil
Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich), who is not only after the jewels, but aims
to get himself crowned King of England. The movie's humor relies on a combination
of pratfalls, sight gags, and understatement.
